Must buy, Must see, Must be one of the better horror movies!

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2007)

The plot: (No spoilers, just things you will see in the first 5 minutes) Animal activists get in quite a slip-up when they try to free rage infected monkeys. And the virus contained by them, known as the 'infection' quickly spreads throughout the UK, where the story takes place. The protagonist Jim wakes up in a hospital from what seems to be a comma, with no one around. Shortly, he realizes that he is the only one there. But when put to the test of life-or-death, he manages to survive with the help of others the attack of the infected.
Every year, the movie industry comes out with movies that makes you just think..."Why did they even make this?". Well not 28 days later. This British 'zombie' flick has many of the needed qualities to make a good scary movie. It has good acting by the leads Cillian Murphy AKA Jim, and Naomie Harris AKA Selena. And the talents these actors contribute to the movie is definitely good thing. With distinctive personalities and relatable qualities, you really root for the characters. With an interesting plot that thickens when the main character steps into the almost un-real world of the time after the "infection" started. Jim keeps the story going with the curiosity of this phenomenon. And the duel antagonists counter each other yet both contribute to Jim's struggle, and keeps you wanting more. The scares are very scary, weather it's pop-out-at-you scary, or just teeth-clenching scary. Even the obvious ones, just psych you out more knowing that something scary is going to happen. With different ways of showing something scary, this scare-factor is fresh and out there, yet it works fantastically. This has your heart racing from the beginning and never lets off. This movie will seriously draw you in, and have you literally screaming at the characters to keep going when they are in danger. I've seen good horror's, but nothing similar that is as good as this. No twist ending, but for-sure an ending worth seeing. The over-all job done on this movie is amazing and seems to have very good direction. Everyone should give this movie a chance. You won't be let down.
